Kathrin Ress - EuroBasket Women 2015 Profile

Now in her third spell with EuroLeague Women powerhouse Famila Schio, Ress has played at the top level for more than a decade, appearing in the Ronchetti Cup as a mere 17-year-old prior to heading to the NCAA. She reminded everyone of her value at theFinal Round two years ago, when she used her experience and size to do a terrific job for Italy on the boards. She was also one of the leading shot-blockers in the competition and while she didn't appear last summer in qualification due to an injury, her height and ability to match-up defensively with opposing centers is priceless. She will operate in the high post or low post, provide a strong defensive presence and has veteran know-how from three previous Final Round appearances.
